Lock on Touch keeps your Mac awake while you step away, then locks it the instant anyone touches the keyboard, trackpad, or mouse. It reads only idle time—never what you type—and needs no Input Monitoring permission. Optional camera capture can save one photo locally when a touch triggers the lock. Free, 2 MB, signed and notarized for macOS 13+.
I built Lock on Touch for moments when I want to step away from my Mac without immediately hiding the screen, while still protecting it if someone tries to interact. It watches only macOS idle time and never requests Input Monitoring, so it cannot read keystrokes. You can choose a grace period, keep the display awake, and optionally save one local camera photo when a touch triggers the lock. It’s free, 2 MB, and notarized by Apple. I’d love feedback on the workflow and which safeguards you’d want next.
